Product Description

From producer Jerry Bruckheimer (PEARL HARBOR) comes PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, the thrilling high-seas adventure with a mysterious twist. The roguish yet charming Captain Jack Sparrow's (Academy Award(R) Nominee Johnny Depp) idyllic pirate life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the governor's beautiful daughter Elizabeth (Keira Knightley). In a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl, Elizabeth's childhood friend Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) joins forces with Jack. What Will doesn't know is that a cursed treasure has doomed Barbossa and his crew to live forever as the undead. Rich in suspense-filled adventure, sword-clashing action, mystery, humor, unforgettable characters, and never-before-seen special effects, PIRATES is a must-have epic on the grandest scale ever.

Additional Features

Like any DVD blockbuster from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, the extras are plentiful and often a bit too self-congratulatory (worst offender here is the primary commentary track). The slickly (natch) produced making-of documentary goes through the standard routine; however, the less-flashy "fly on the wall" bits--just showing what happens on set without comment--is more fun, offering effortless insight on the filmmaking process. The best treasure is a nifty interactive history on pirates with plenty of background material. You can simply play the filmed segments or take a tour around a ship to discover the material (and a few surprises). There's a lot of archival material on the theme-park ride that inspired the film and several odds and ends including an enjoyable chronicle of the vintage ship's voyage from its home harbor to the movie set. The kids should really dig the DVD-ROM "Moonlight Becomes Ye," in which they can turn their own mug into a ghostly pirate. There's also a bounty of extended and deleted scenes (19 in all) and a very funny blooper reel. With both DTS and Dolby 5.1, sound systems will get a workout with the excellent (and loud) sound design. --Doug Thomas

Of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies the first - Curse of the Black Pearl - is the most entertaining and fun. There does't have to be anything in this movie to necessarily seriously critique, it's just a movie that if your going to watch it, it can just be let alone as entertaining. As far as Pirate movies go, PotC is just made for entertainment and if you like pirates and movies about pirates then it is a very good possibility you will like this movie. As in many movies a few lines or scenes probably aren't necessary but it doesn't detract from the film. Actors do what is needed, don't overact just make the movie enjoyable. Script makes for a good pirate story and the movie score definitely adds to the film. Rate this 3.0 - 4.0 stars out of 5 simply for the entertainment and probably for the music score that adds to the film.

I am not normally a person for pirates and things of this nature. I am not a big fan of action movies as they tend to bore me. It is just not my thing. This movie was wanted by one of my children so I took the chance and watched t after it arrived.

OMG it was so good. I do think though that Johnny Depp made the movie. He is such a talented actor and can do such a variety of roles. The movie was great for kids and for adults. It was funny as well as action and I really enjoyed it. Now I will have to get the others in the series and watch them all. Thanks son!!

This move IS the Disney movie. it was so good it spurred what, 5 more movies? This movie is not just good, but ICONIC and even if Jack Sparrow overstays his welcome (Im not saying he has... haven't seen the latest movie though) , this film has immortalized the upbeat and perky JACK that everyone is so interested in.

This is a wonderful movie for anyone to watch. I was especially pleased with the absence of profanity (only 2 or 3 instances the entire movie). Captain Jack Sparrow is a pirate who passes himself off to be incredible stupid, but who in reality is the smartest pirate you will ever see. It was very interesting to me to watch his thought process throughout the movie. In addition, to Sparrow's antics there is the romance between Will and Elizabeth which is complicated by both Commodore Norington and Captain Barbossa.Of all the supporting characters, my personal favorite is Panchetti who gives an eye-popping performance. He is fun to watch with all of his antics and they are just the right amount to enhance the story line but not detract from it.I love the 2nd DVD that comes with this package. It has a wide variety of items that include Jerry Bruckheimer's still shots taken from the set, historical background information, deleted scenes (3 of which I think should have made it to the film), interactive areas if you can watch the DVD on your PC, and the original Disney special of the opening of the ride. I found it very interesting to watch the Disney special after watching the movie and seeing what all made it to the movie.I have talked to people in all stages of life that love this movie: pre-teens, teens, young adults, adults and even senior citizens. If you are looking for something to appeal to a lot of people, this is it.So, hang onto your bootstraps and be prepared for a thrill ride when you watch this movie.

it was good entertainment. i enjoy some action in films, she likes typical "chick-flicks" but this was a good balance for us. she does not like violence, and though this film has some violence it is presented in a way that she was able to roll with. a good balance of adventure, comedy, romance, silliness and ghouls.

The whole POTC Series is built on the strength of this one movie! Now that my kid is old enough to watch them with me, I get to enjoy them all over again. As if I needed an excuse.Don't judge me, Bro...
